• Cold Water Shave
• Pre Shave - PAA Cube 2.0
• Shave Soap - PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum
• Razor - Karve Brass "B" Plate
• Blade - Polsilver SI (3)
• Post Shave - Grooming Dept serum / Pre De Provence Balm
• Aftershave - Pinauds Bay Rum
• 8/10

So - second try with the PAA products today ... 2nd use with the CUBE 2.0 and I'm not convinced it is adding anything to the shave at all - just my opinion - certainly compared to Grooming dept pre shave and even Proraso
PAA soap - great lather but again IMO nothing special in the glide and cushion area and the scent is very weak
Post shave from using both was jusk OK and felt i needed both both grooming dept and Pre De Provence balms ..

Again all just my opinion and no doubt just doesn't suit me as there are great reviews on both

Not a maker you seem to hear a lot about ...

After yesterday's disappointment with the soap / pre shave this Extro Cosmesi Miele does seem very nice.

Strange brown colour in the tub which changes to white lather. It is also very soft - not a hard soap - so I scooped a little in to the bowl for lathering.

Touted for sensitive skin and my face does feel wondeful and cool after the shave. The lather does need plenty of water but then provides very good glide / cushion.

The post shave balm only needs a tiny amount - is very dense but absorbs very quickly and the post shave feeling is superb !! (I used a little too much but my white cream covered skin soon absorbed)

Lovely herb type scent more from the balm than the soap - so nice I didn't bother with aftershave.
